I get sad a lot. I am isolated with a few contacts/friends. I hope that this group will give me the support that I am looking for.

Hello. Welcome. I hope that this group will give you the support you are looking for. I have been here one month and I find it extremely helpful. There are so many good people here and lots of good information. I am sorry that you get sad a lot. Hopefully being here knowing that you are not alone will bring you some comfort.

Welcome to the community! I joined yesterday and there are so many people with similar stories and advice and will be there for you. If you’re like me and up all night and no one is responding, look through old posts and testimonies because I’ve found much relief in that too! It’s a great place! ~Travis

Welcome to the group!

Hope we have what you are looking for.

I, too, get down from time to time. Yeah it's about how little contact I have with friends. Most of my friends live a thousand miles away. The only friend I have in town is moving away in several months. Which makes me feel sad because I'm making progress on my anxiety but I haven't gotten around to even going over to my friends house. Soon they will be moving.

But maybe it will help motivate me to reach for higher goals. And I can see my bestie more often.

Anyways I hope you find your stay with us pleasant. I wish you healing 🫂❤️

I totally understand- similar situation. It’s so hard to have a great friend move away 😢 But you are correct- it’s an opportunity to grow ❤️

[Weatherwoman in reply to Good_for_us]

I had to move 500 miles from All my friends, and it's been, & continues to me very difficult. But, I do keep in touch with my friends via phone, text, and email. I have been on HU for two years, and find it SO helpful, and made an HU friend on here! Not the same as being able to meet up in person, but phone, text, video (with friends), and going on this site is helpful.

[Good_for_us in reply to Weatherwoman]

Wow, that would be rough! It’s good that you are staying in touch with your friends regularly and I agree that HU is a great support. Are you living in an area where you can meet new people easily?

[Ellamaye in reply to Weatherwoman]

I'm not seeing my friends in person most of them. still keeping in touch over messages etc it's not the same though they don't understand why and they also forget why which upsets me abit

[Weatherwoman in reply to Ellamaye]

Yes, not the same when you can't see your friends in person. Mine are All far away now. The next best thing is the phone, email, text, Video chats! If they are Real friends, they should understand why you don't see them at this time.

[Ellamaye in reply to Weatherwoman]

It's like they forget though and then I have to explain again and it's abit upsetting

Hi,

I’ve been a member of this group for ages but I come and go! There are lots of regular people on here, that you will get used to seeing the name of, and strike up a camaraderie with. Everyone is so friendly on here, and there is always someone going through similar things to you.

Welcome to the group!

[Spooky99]

Welcome ! Everyone here will help you feel better!!! We are a lot alike!

[Audiomarc1]

Yes. I'm 63 and I have the same problem with isolation and too few friends. It seems that peoples priorities change as we grow older and many times it means not including friends in the plan. I have decided to find a senior center to find out if there are people there that have the same interests as me. I'll let you know how if works out or not. Keep in touch.

[Trainchaser]

What makes you sad?

[Good_for_us]

Welcome to the group! 😊

[Hidden]

Welcome! I relate to your struggle and I'm sorry that you're having some problems. You're not alone. So what's up? Why are you feeling this way? That's only if you wanna share.

I think you'll find that there are kind and helpful people here. 🙂

[AnxiousSilver]
